Zlatan Meets Beckham

Zlatan Ibrahimovic came off the bench just after the hour mark but couldn’t inspire Los Angeles Galaxy to another stirring comeback as they were beaten 2-0 by Sporting Kansas City.

The veteran Swedish striker, who announced his arrival in Major League Soccer with two goals in last weekend’s derby with Los Angeles FC, came on in the 62nd minute at StubHub Center – minutes after meeting a Galaxy superstar of another era, David Beckham.

By that time, the Galaxy trailed by two goals after Daniel Salloi and Johnny Russell scored five minutes apart in the second half for Kansas.

Beckham was watching on at the StubHub Center and he was pictured greeting Ibrahimovic before the game.
